run xterm (et al) on the vncserver m/c.

No. VNC is its own X server, but you usually need X installed so that
vnc can pickup the settings, fonts etc. But there are X-less distros.
You run the vncclient on your fave desk/palmtop m/c. This is native to
that m/c. What vnc is doing, in essence, is providing a remote monitor
for an xserver. So the vncserver m/c has all the intellegence and links
to a relativly stupid client. Sort of like telnetting with a green
screen. No X goes across the network, just video. This means that
vncservers will run on m/cs without X, e.g Windows & Mac. Windows talks
GDI, and that gets converted to vnc to go to the client. The client
draws this in its own native way. This could be X, or it could be GDI or
QuickDraw or something else, don't matter to you really.
